“When I look at the
telehealth literature, I see a divide between stand-alone gadgetry and
gadgetry that is paired with human resources. The latter includes nurses
or other non-physician professionals who are responsible for contacting
and aiding the consumer when the telemonitoring fires an alert. Those
medical homes that rely on stand-alone systems will need to invest in
additional FTEs to manage telehealth. Medical homes that rely on systems
with nurses will need to accommodate partnerships, modify their
workflows, and be prepared to respond quickly when an outside nurse
calls. Does it sound like the bad old days of disease management? You
betcha. The good news is that patients stand to benefit and modern
medical homes have a much greater understanding of the value of
teaming.” Jaan E. Sidorov, MD, FACP, Author, Disease Management Care
Blog, Health Care Consultant

"The latest update of
the Patient-Centered Care Index (PCCI), a nationwide, quarterly survey
of 2,500 patients who have received physician care in the last six
months, places the PCCI at 3.46 on a 5.0 scale. A score of at least 4.0
is required for patients to agree that physicians are effective at
patient-centered care, so this is a middling score that leaves much room
for improvement."
